BALAAM said:The doctor explained to him again on Saturday morning very carefully what his options were. He knows everyone and understands everything but can't speak(just mumble) swallow or much of anything else. He said we will pull out the tubes you have now, stop all meds except for morphine, and discontinue the dialysis. He said you will die but you won't be in any pain or discomfort. My dad shook his head that he understood and then shook his head yes that that was what he wanted. I don't know how long it takes once you stop the dialysis but I am assuming about a week is all he will last on this earth.
Thanks for the prayers and especially for my mom. She is very calm and sedate on the outside but I know she isn't on the inside.
I don't mean to sound cliche, but God will give you strength and grace for today. When you arise tomorrow He will do the same. Don't wonder about tomorrows strength today. It will be there waiting tomorrow. Praying for you and your family.
